Macromolecules * four basic chemicals or compounds make up almost everything on earth Carbohydrates • usable sources of energy/ easily broken down • sugars, starches, and cellulose • monomer = monosaccharide • polymer = polysaccharide QuickTime™ and a decompressor are needed to see this picture. QuickTime™ and a decompressor are needed to see this picture. QuickTime™ and a decompressor are needed to see this picture. QuickTime™ and a decompressor are needed to see this picture. Lipids • includes steroids, fats, waxes, and oils • monomer = glycerol backbone and 3 fatty acid chains •Polymer = triglyceride • used for storage & structure (cell membrane) QuickTime™ and a decompressor are needed to see this picture.

QuickTime™ and a decompressor are needed to see this picture. Proteins • large molecules - enzymes, hemoglobin, muscles • monomer: amino acid • polymer: polypeptide • more than 1/3 of your body • many functions: movement, structure, regulation, transport, nutrition, defense QuickTime™ and a decompressor are needed to see this picture. QuickTime™ and a decompressor are needed to see this picture. QuickTime™ and a decompressor are needed to see this picture. Nucleic Acids • • • • Control all inherited characteristics DNA and RNA Monomer: nucleoticde Polymer: DNA or RNA QuickTime™ and a decompressor are needed to see this picture.
